Everything floats down here Anything that sinks from up there Floats down here Like she did her mask Like she did her smile The future is a bitter past Everything floats down here Anything that sinks from up there Floats down here Like she did her mask Like she did her smile The future is a bitter past She keeps her mind closed For repair on broken dreams She won't let us in like it's our fault She wrote them scenes and played the part She's got this aching heart That just can't wait to start breaking apart Vacant parts of her body To begin making art Introducing its bloody sound to critics And anybody wild that beats its sickness To a bloody pulp See it's nobody's fault her inner child drowned In a river while she cried it deeper I think I'll swim awhile I think I'll think awhile While drinking in this pile of leaves Jump off, then go home cocked The hope runs wild They tore them down Burn them at the stakes of my flames And work the snakes in my veins like Everything floats down here Anything that sinks from up there Floats down here Like she did her mask Like she did her smile The future is a bitter past Everything floats down here Anything that sinks from up there Floats down here Like she did her mask Like she did her smile The future is a bitter past I got hella elegant etiquette It's only indelicate when They f*ck with the sedatives, but She's got a side with a thorn in it And they say with some scorn in it Like maybe she was born with it And maybe it's Maybelline They say that what's the matter with me "It runs in the family" But I'm just trying to get my ever-after happily Avoid the modern maladies of vanity and apathy I'm looking for a voice in the white noise I'm trying to make a choice with the right boy To lay me down into bed Leash the hounds in my head Somebody (somebody) to finally see me through it Somebody to remind me that I'm the quantum unit Of a treaty and a handshake An audience and fanbase A culture and a cause A movement and a mob I said a culture, a cause, a movement, a mob Everything floats down here Anything that sinks from up there Floats down here Like she did her mask Like she did her smile The future is a bitter past Everything floats down here Anything that sinks from up there Floats down here Like she did her mask Like she did her smile The future is a bitter past
